150 Norfolk Guides, Norwich Division, Coronation Camp, Chigwell Row 1937

Oaklands Farm


When war broke out in 1939 the War Office took over the site to use as a Home Guard Training Camp. After the war, the Girls Clubs no longer wanted to use the campsite so in 1948 it became the sole responsibility of the Girl Guides Association. The original Brownie House, located to the right of the drive, became unsafe and needed to be demolished. Funds raised in 1961 went towards the construction of two prefabs known as 'Jubilee House'. The name was chosen to commemorate the Girl Guide Jubilee. A dormitory was added in 1965.
